The Half-Life Model Viewer Help Page Rewrite Personal Project (mouthful of a title totally intended) by Ragnar Homsar
The purpose of this page is to make the Model Viewer Help page much more informative, detailed, and easy to read. At the moment, it works for the basics of HLMV, but it's a stub and the lack of pictures makes the thing a tad harder to understand. I'm using this page as a sandbox since a) this will take a good chunk of time to be passable enough to be public and b) I'd like to be able to use the various functions of MediaWiki such as tables and section dividers. Maybe I'll also incorporate a general image editing section for HLMV renders, who knows.
Please don't edit this! If you have a suggestion I'd be more than willing to listen to it on my Talk Page or the IRC channel!
Page Opening
The Half-Life Model Viewer (commonly shortened to "HLMV" or "Model Viewer") is a tool included with the Source SDK that's designed to view and manipulate Source Engine model files. On the Team Fortress Wiki, HLMV is used to make images of the various Classes in TF2, hats, Classes wearing hats, painted hats, props, etc.
